What a bummer! As I mentioned, I am currently taking some time to let my hip rest and hopefully avoid a serious injury. I will be so disappointed if this hip thing stops me from running the half, but I'm hoping it won't come to that and I'm going to think positive! It's still so far away so I can't worry yet.

Yesterday Dave and I had a full to-do list, so we decided to fit in a better than nothing workout. I did a bunch of different things, alternating between two moves for some interval sets.

Straight arm raises alternating between in front and out to the sides 3 sets of 20 (10 each way)Planks 3 sets of 30 seconds

My calves are so sore today! And guess what I found at Dave's gym... a foam roller! I did some rolling on my hips, legs, and lower back and it was awesome. The roller was a lot harder than I expected it to be, which makes sense, because if it was soft I guess it wouldn't be very effective!

My goals for this week are to not be a lazy bum and still workout at least three times this week. I also want to buy a foam roller, learn more about rolling, and put that baby into action on my body. My last goal is to stretch at least four times and do some type of yoga.

Do you like interval workouts? What are your favorite things to do in intervals?

So sorry to hear your hip is still giving you trouble, but better to rest now and not cause further injury! I also love interval training, and I usually incorporate a lot of lunges into my interval workouts!
